It did not come with a card or note of any kind, but I loved the beauty and sweet smell of the flower. And I never stopped imaging who the giver might be. My mother helped me to imagine. Shed ask me if I had done something kind for anyone. Perhaps the neighbor Id helped carry heavy bags for, or one of my classmates who I helped the lessons with. As a teenager, though, I had more fun thinking that it might be a boy I liked at school. When I was 17, a boy broke my heart and I cried myself to sleep. When I woke up in the morning, there was a message on my mirror, If we let sadness go, happiness will surely come to you. I thought about those words for a long time. When I finally went to get the glass cleaner, my mother knew everything was all right again. One month before I finished high school, my father left us forever. I lost interest in all the celebrating activities such as the class play, taking photos with classmates before leaving the high school where I had studied for three years. Although my mother was very sad, she still encouraged me to take part in all those.

They seem to be able to think, understand, and learn things quickly. But are they smart like humans or more than cats or dogs? Dolphins use their brains differently from people. But scientists say dolphin intelligence and human intelligence are similar in some ways. How? Fact 1: Talk to me Like humans, every dolphin has its own name. The name is a special whistle. Each dolphin chooses a specific whistle for itself, usually by its first birthday. Actually, scientists think dolphins, like people, talk to each other about a lot of things, such as their age, their feelings, or finding food. And, like humans, dolphins use a system of sounds and body language to communicate. But understanding their conversations is not easy for humans. No one speaks dolphin yet, but some scientists are trying to learn. Fact 2: Lets play Dolphins are also social animals. They live in groups, and they often join others from different groups to play games and have funjust like people. In fact, playing together is something only intelligent animals do. Fact 3: Fishermens helper Dolphins and humans are similar in another way: both make plans to get something they want. In the seas of southern Brazil, for example, dolphins use an interesting strategy to get food. When fish are near a boat, dolphins show signs to the fishermen to put their nets in the water. Using this method, the men can catch a lot of fish. What is the advantage for the dolphins in doing so? They get to eat some of the fish.25. What does a dolphin often use as its name?A. A body language. B. A special whistle.C. Its feeling. D. Its age.26. Why do dolphins join others from different groups?A. To learn to talk. B. To meet their families.C. To play games. D.

Dolphins and humans are similar in some ways.CThe World Health Organization says air pollution is now the worlds single-largest environmental health risk. A new report from the WHO says nearly eight million people died in 2012 because of air pollution. That is more than twice as many as the number in 2008. Air pollution is an international problem. The World Health Organization says one in eight people die from air pollution, from both inside buildings and outside. It says new information shows air pollution is partly to blame for people dying at an early age from heart disease. It says other causes of death include cancer and or long-term diseases of the lungs and breathing passages. The WHO report says most deaths from air pollution take place in low and middle-income countries in Southeast Asia and the western Pacific Ocean. About half of the worlds population lives in those countries. Many people who live there use open fires or simple equipment to cook food and heat their homes. Health officials say 4.2 million people died at an early age in 2012 because of the burning of coal and biomass fuelssuch as wood, crop waste and animal wastes. They say 3.7 million others died in cities and rural areas because of outside air pollution. Carlos Dora says countries must work together to reduce air pollution because what happens in one country can affect lives in another country. Dr. Dora says at one time, air pollution was worse in developed countries than in developing ones. But he notes developed countriesespecially Britain and the United Stateshave taken steps to greatly reduce air pollution during the past 10 years. He says measures that help cut air pollution can be costly. But he says they may save money in the long term by lowering health care costs. 29.
